Replying to Skis too small?

Misfitmonkey:
i am 5 foot 8 and will probably grow over this summer, i have 162 surface royales that are already 3-5 inches shorter then the top of my head, i only weigh 130 and can already flex them and wash out without much effort, should i keep an eye out for some new skis next year? I also have my tip held together by epoxy, 3 edge cracks, and folded the sidewall of one of the skis, My plan was to use them next year, but idk now, as they a ski instructor shorter then me that i have skied with for 5 years said to get new ones, he's 5 foot 6 and uses 177.
